FINGER-RING.

. SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 293,985, dated February 19, 1884.

Application filed January 17, 1884.

To aZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, OHRIsroPH STAIGER, of Brooklyn, county of Kings, and State of New York, have invented certain new and useful 5 Improvements in Finger-Rings, of which the following is a specification.

This invention has reference to an improved finger-ring of that class in which stones of considerable size are set into an enlarged frame 10 of the ring; and the invention consists of a finger-ring having an enlarged frame or setting, with solid end walls and side cramps, by

which the beveled sides of the stone are retained. I 5 In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 represents a front elevation, Fig. 2 a side elevation, and Fig. 3 a top view, of my improved finger-ring.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A in the drawings represents a finger-ring, the enlarged front part of which forms asetting, B, for an onyx, cameo, or other ornamental stone, 0. The stone 0 is made either of straight or convex form, the latter form being used for the so-called glove-rings. The sides of the stone 0 are slightly beveled, while the ends No model.)

are straight, the stone being retained in the setting B by solid end walls, I) b, and side cramps, b b, which latter are arranged at a suitable distance from each other. The cramps b b serve to retain the stone firmly and securely in position without any chance of its getting detached from the setting. The openings between the side cramps, b b, expose the I sides of the stone through the interstices between the cramps in addition to the face, whereby a more ornamental and finished appearance is imparted to the ring.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- As an improvement in finger-rings, the combination of the enlarged frame or setting having solid end walls and side cramps with a stone havingstraight ends and slightly-bev- GHRISTOPH STAIGER.
